Supporting Healthy Boundary Setting

Parents & Caregivers, Let’s Talk!

Setting boundaries with others is an important life skill to understand and put into action.
This session is for parents and caregivers to explore the concept of boundary setting with the goal of helping youth recognize healthy boundaries as well as boundary violations (such as nonconsensual touching, personal space invasion, and abuse). We will provide examples of strategies caregivers can use to communicate about boundaries and encourage healthy relationship development.
